Athletics Kenya president Jackson Tuwei confirmed they will present their case to the world federation during this month’s event in Tokyo, which starts tomorrow [Saturday].
London has already announced its intention to bid, with the UK government confirming its support in July.
A reported £45m package has set aside by the government and London Mayor’s office to host both the World Championship and its para equivalent in the same year.
World Athletics president Coe, who oversaw London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, insists there is no favourite and admits there are cities from almost every continent involved in a 2029 and 2031 bid – with the winners decided in one to two years.
However, he insists global sporting behemoths can’t keeping sticking to the tried and tested host cities and says World Athletics need to embrace new places.
“Our council is absolutely wedded to the concept that we are a global sport and we just can’t keep going back to the same places all the time,” he said at a one-year countdown party to the first-ever World Athletics Ultimate Championship.
“If you are a global sport, then you need to go to global places and there is an absolute ambition to stage a World Championship at the right time, and given the right structures, in Africa.
“Over the course of my presidency, we have had a World Cross-Country Championship in Africa, we have an under-20s World Championship in Nairobi, we have the World Relay Championship next year in Botswana and the first thing I did was add an African Diamond League event in Rabat.
“So we on that trajectory and it will be a matter for the African Confederation to decide which city they want to put forward.
“We are open for business and that’s a very good sign that big global cities want to stage our events.”
Kenya failed in its bid to host the 2025 World Championships, with Nairobi beaten by Tokyo.
The bidding process for the 2029 and 2031 editions is open and submissions must be made by October 1.
Meanwhile, Coe led figures from across the sport, media and political world at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to look ahead to the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest this time next year.
Only the top-ranked athletes on the planet will earn the right to compete, representing their countries on the biggest stage for a share of the record $10million prize pot – the largest in track and field history.
The three-day competition will feature 28 disciplines in a fast-paced, made-for-TV format. With no country quotas or selection panels, performance alone secures a place, guaranteeing the ultimate head-to-head battles to decide who truly is the best in the world.
Usain Bolt, who earlier this week was announced as the Ultimate Legend for the new season-finale global championship, was on the red carpet alongside Olympic champions Mondo Duplantis and Thea LaFond.
“I worked hard to be an ultimate legend for years, so I’m really excited to be a part of the World Athletics Ultimate Championship,” said Bolt.
“The first thing I thought when I heard about this event was how wonderful it would have been to compete at this championship had it been around when I was an athlete}
“It moves the sport in the right direction, so I’m hoping to help shine a light on it in my role as Ultimate Legend.”
